James Slashes to Cedar Lake Summer Nationals ‘Hell Tour’ Victory

SOMERSET, Wis. (June 17) - Scott James made the 450-mile trek to Cedar Lake Speedway worth every mile by capturing the opening night of the Masters Classic on Friday at Cedar Lake Speedway for his first DIRTcar Summer Nationals Hell Tour victory of 2011.

James, of Lawrenceburg, Ind., made the Hell Tour journey from Thursday's event at Kankakee (Ill.) County Speedway to Cedar Lake in northwestern Wisconsin worth it by driving the familiar Scott Riggs-owned #81 around Badger State racer Dan Schlieper on a lap-25 restart. Schlieper, of Oak Creek, Wis., then held off challenges over the final five laps to claim the second event of the 2011 Hell Tour, worth $5,000. Schlieper, of Oak Creek, Wis., would hang on for second ahead of pole-sitter Shannon Babb, of Moweaqua, Ill.

Fellow MB Customs drivers Brian Birkhofer of Muscatine, Iowa, and Jimmy Mars of Menomonie, Wis., rounded out the Top Five.
